What are the coolest looking Credit Cards? * Edit:Which is the best for a 1st time user?*

[SithSolo1]

Examples: The new discover card, the American Express Blue and Black cards(Yes i know I can't get one), American Eagle Outfitters Clear card, Visa smart chip, etc.

*EDIT: Added the second question. I've never owned a CC b4, what would you recommend? I buy 90% of my stuff online, I'm in college, and I don't have a job.

I've got a Visa with Van Gogh's Starry Night on it. Pretty cool.

 

[Zim Hosein]

Any piece of plastic that lets me get out of the store w/ what I want

 

[SithSolo1]

I'm just asking. I'm not saying i'm gonna get it.

 

[littlezipp]

I would say the Blue is pretty neat, then again a REI Visa is cool too.

 

[Amused]

They all look the same to me. :::shrug:::

 

[klah]

Providian also has a card that is clear.

 

[SOSTrooper]

I have a Cal Fed see thru green Visa check card. Pretty nice I guess.

 

[Dragnov]

I personally like my Bank of America Platinum Check Card. Looks 1337.

Doesn't do it justice though. Blue is much darker, and the silver is more shiny.

American Express Centurian AKA "Black" card. Didn't think they existed until I saw one up close. The guy I knew had Nieman-Marcus shutdown so he could shop for his girlfriend.

What are the coolest looking Credit Cards?

The ones that you've paid off and cut into a million pieces and thrown into the garbage !

Who cares how it looks? All the BILLS look the same when you get them.

No matter which card you use, you'll look like this -----> When the bills come every month.

By the time you've realized it, you owe a LOT of money, and look like this -----> :Q When you see how much you owe.

When you finally realize that you're $20K in the hole, you'll just feel like this --------> :|


Any questions?~

Spending $250,000/yr doesent even get you on the waiting list.

Call me plain jane but I like how my regular CitiBank Dividend Platinum Select card looks.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

[Viper GTS]

My first card was a Sony Citibank card...

I still have it ($5,000 limit) + an Amazon.com Visa I just got ($3,000 limit) and a Best Buy card (piddly $800 limit).

WTF? You're a first-time CC user. Why do you give half a rat's ass what the card looks like?

Care about annual fees, interest rates, and hidden charges.

Like MichaelD said - it all looks the same when you get your bill. :Q

And for "coolness factor" - paying for items on the happy side of four digits in cash is far cooler than a Platinum card IMO.
The "card" means that you're just putting it off and paying for it for a year or so.
Having five large in cash to slap down on the table just means you're freakin' loaded.

I also can't imagine getting a CC based on its appearance
